Part OF tho funeral paraphernalIu Of
Pasqual. the chief of the Yumas, who
died ut Colorado River agency, in Arizona,
not long ngo, has been received ut tho
Indian bureau. 1t Is an enormous green
ash bow, over six feet in length, strung
with stout cord. 1t is wound ut intervals
of au inch with deer thongs, and smeared
with red ocher. On the inside of the bow,
at the same intervals, are fastened tufts
Of bright red feathers from some Mexican
bird. Six arrows accompany the bow, all
Of them blunt except one, to which Is
strapped with the customary deer thong a
sharp head of glittering obsidian. All IRE
tipped with small eagle feathers. The
bow is Of the best workmanship, and Pas

months, fully expected to have it buried
with him. He grew much better lately,
however, and Agent Youngblood bought
the outfit for $3.50 n sent 1t to the In

destination Pasqual died, and his horses
were slaughtered over his grave.-Bos.

A new method of Identifying criminals
has been adopted In the prisons of France,
Russia and Japan. l. consists in taking
tho exac measurement of the person upon
his cor-ing to the Jail.
His waist, the length and width of the
head, the left middle finger, the left foot,
the outstretched arms, the three other
fingers Of the left hand, the left arm from
the elbow to the wrist, and the length and
width Of the ear nre measured, and the
color of the eyes and any peculiarities are
noted down.

and 10y these means the many mistakes
which have been made by trusting to a

ticularly English pickpockets, nre so con

Almost every n appreciates the duty
OF governing the tongue, although few
people dwell upon the necessity of con-
trolling the thoughts. Right speaking is
a recognized duty, but right thinking is
too often classed among the impossible
ties of life.
''lt may be wicked to feel 80, but I
can't help my thoughts" apolosetically
says some detractor.
II excuse is a generally accepted one,
but it has not sufficient foundation in
fact. Isolated thoughts cannot always
be controlled. They flash into the mind
hike obstinate sprites, and the more one
fixes the attention upon them in disap-
proval the more impossible does it be-
come to expel them.
1t is, however, within the limits of hui
man effort to control the tendency of the
thoughts. When a malicious or frivo-
lous member of tho tribe starts INTO
being they can be best combated, not by
out and out fighting, but by turning in
stantly to another class Of valuable and
interesting reflection.
The mind may be so thoroughly disci-
plined that its thoughts shall be drilled
battalions of soldiers. They will doubt
less be always raw troops, not marching
according to strict military rule, and not
In all cases sure to obey upon the mo-
ment, but they will steadily improve with
practice, conforming themselves more
and more to the true and the GOOD.
Psychologists have a great deal to say
about the force of habit. Dispose the
brain toward a certain line of thought
and it will keep it with increasing steadi-
ness, for purely physical reasons. 1t has
its automatic action, as the fingers have
theirs, when they 81 accustom them
selves to seeking the keys of the piano
that they find them without the aid of
the eyes.
The discipline of the thoughts contrib
utes to the intellectual as well as moral
development. There are in all lives I'M
occupied intervals of time, when ono is
riding to and from his place of business,
or taking his constitutional" for ex-
ample. He cannot read or study TO adj
vantage at such moments, but instead Of
letting the mind drift whittier it will, he
can fix it upon the last poem he has read
or upon some truth from an author of
value.-Youth's Companion

"If any one tells you 1t Is easier to sui

man Of my acquaintance. "Now, l look

never knows what he wants. If he wishes
to purchase a necktie, for example, he

The Anaconda.

The situation in regard to the Anaconda
Mine continues to be one of the most alb.
sorbing topics OF news in the city. Differ.
emit views of the subject ave been given
and all of them with a semb)ance OF au-
thority to support them. Accurate infor-
nation is difficult to get because all of the
parties interested are very close mouthed.
The MINER is able to state, however,
that the starting up Of the smelter on
Monday is contemplated, and that the
only difficulty that will interfere is the coal
supply. The Union Pacific has. some three
hundred cars of coal on the road north OF
Pocatello, and will send in thirteen cars OF
coal to the Anaconda to-day. There are
three train loads OF coal which can be put
into Silver Bow within six hours. The
Utah & Northern was clear yesterday,
and the general impression among railroad
men was that it would remain so. The
mild weather which has prevailed in Butte
for the last day or two, has prevailed all
along the line, and has had a beneficial
effect in settling the snow beyond the posi-
bility OF drifting. Railroad men seem to
think that the difficulties for the present
are about at an end. The starting up OF
the Anaconda Smetter on Monday, while
not absolutely certain, is extremely prob.
able. II this is the case, it mea Of course,

detective work, Constable Engel and Under
Sheriff Reynolds recovered the missing
checks which were stolen from James Mar

have been unremitting in their efforts to
find the stolen property, but met with no
success. On Wednesday they worked on
the fears of Behrne, one of the thieves, and
got him 80 alarmed that he agreed to dig
up the missing checks. He accordingly con-
Quoted the officers to q carpenter shop near
Warfield's stable, and ~unearthed a cigar
box which he had cached there. On inves-
t~,qation this was found to contain six
checks, amounting in all to $434.65 The
checks were drawn to Al Angroon, ]. H.
Carpenter, Tobias Angroon, Mark Harring-
ton, VIM. Tubb, and Joseph Williams,
and ranged in amount from $36.25, the
lowest, to $93. 10. the highest.
Constable Engel and Captain Reynolds
deserve credit for the able manner in which
the case was worked, and it is ex-
tremely doubtful if the missing property
would ever have been recovered unless some
one had ''squealed." The prisoners were
arraigned before Judge Lippincott for pre-
liminary examination, but hedecided that,
as the offense had been committed in an
other county, he had no jurisdiction. All
three of the men were accordingly remanded
to the custody of Sheriff Lew Coleman, OF
Deer Lodge county, who took them down
to Deer Lodge on yesterday mornings

checks were stolen, who goes as COMPLAIN.
